Understanding and stratifying brain health through blood-based omics data
Brain health across the lifespan is dynamic and influenced by a complex interplay of genetics and the environment. Age-related neurological diseases are a growing burden on healthcare systems and society. Individuals that do not have overt diagnoses of neurological diseases will still experience …

The effect of weight loss on circulating biomarkers of brain health and executive function
… and obese, middle-aged and older adults on serum brain-derived neurotrophic fact (BDNF), S100 calcium binding protein B (S100B), and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). Serum samples (n=21; 50-75 years, BMI 25-40 kg/m2) were pooled from two prior weight loss studies. Fasting blood measurements …

Physical Activity and Brain Health in Older Latino Adults: Is There a Moderating Role of Acculturation
… between physical activity (PA) and cognitive or brain health among older Latino adults. Manuscripts one and two were cross-sectional studies, and manuscript three was a randomized controlled trial using secondary data analysis. Manuscript one aimed to examine whether language-based and social …

Epidemiology of multimorbidity and polypharmacy in ageing: a complementary analysis of mental and brain health in three datasets
… outcomes for patients and increased costs for healthcare providers, so is attracting attention both from policymakers and researchers. The use of multiple simultaneous medications (polypharmacy) frequently co-occurs with multimorbidity. Multimorbidity including physical and mental illnesses has …

A role for nutrition in healthy brain aging
… understand nutrition’s impact on cognition and brain health across the life span. While accumulating evidence indicates healthy cognitive aging is dependent upon both brain health and nutritional status, the relationship between nutrition, cognition, and brain structure and function remains to …

The Effect of an Acute Bout of Rock Climbing on Cognitive Functioning and Cortisol Levels
… warrant studying its effect on cognition and brain health. I recruited 26 generally healthy adults for a randomized-controlled study. Climbing experience, PA and perceived stress were self-reported. Each participant was randomly assigned to a climbing (10x2 minutes climb, moderate intensity) …

The role of cortical morphometry of functional networks in predicting age-related cognition in older adults
… Alarmingly, despite longer life expectancies, health is not necessarily improving (He, Goodkind, and Kowal, 2016). While all organs are affected by aging, decline in the brain’s ability to function (cognitive aging) is one of the most impactful consequences of aging on day-to-day activities and …

The effects of physical activity on the brain and cognition during childhood
… of physical activity on the cognitive and brain health of children. It is motivated by experimental studies in rodents and older adults that demonstrate a positive influence of physical activity and aerobic exercise on cognition, brain structure, and brain function. Furthermore, a growing …

Aerobic fitness and the attentional blink in preadolescent children
… the extent to which aerobic fitness relates to brain health and cognition during development is of increasing importance. Given that temporal dynamics has not been examined to link the relation of aerobic fitness with cognition in preadolescent children, this study sought to employ neuroelectric …

An Integrated Thesis Examining Risk Factor Profiles, Vascular and Neurodegenerative Brain Changes, and Cognitive Outcomes
Dementia is a growing public health concern linked to co-occurring modifiable risk factors. However, risks are often studied in isolation, with limited attention to how exposure timing affects brain and cognitive outcomes. This thesis examined how modifiable risk factors relate to structural brain …
